Vista boot error 0x0000007E

Hello new member here.

Building a new system using Home Premium 64 bit. Using Asus M2N-E
motherboard with 4G of G-Skill RAM (2 pair of 1G sticks). Installed
Vista with no problems but am getting above error on boot most of time
with all 4G.

I haven't received any problems yet if I remove one pair and just use
2G.

I read a review on newegg about Vista that a user had same problem and
he removed 2G, reloaded Vista and then put the other 2G back in.

Anyone hear of problems with 4G and resolution?

Thanks
Chas

KB929777 might be your friend. Remove 2GB install the X64 KB29777
hotfix and see if it goes away.

Thanks Jeff. I forget to add in my original post that I had tried 929777
and received a msg that it didn't apply to my PC and didn't install.

But you are right about the 929777 I just used the wrong one. Later I
received a error 0x0000000a and that pointed me to a Microsoft fix for
RAM over 3G. It listed two KB929777 downloads. One for 32 bit and the
other for 64 bit. I downloaded the one for 64 bit and it installed fine
and I haven't had a problem since.
